We had an ice storm like that a couple of years ago.  It was on Christmas
eve and we were without power and water for 3 1/2 days.  We still had one of
our best Christmases ever.  We had a kerosene stove for heat so everybody
had to stay in the same room.

I regret I didn't get better photos but with the ice and trees all around
you really can't get around much.

You've done a nice job documenting your storm.  Plenty of great memories in
those photos!
